On today’s edition of the FreedomCast, columnist John Fund joins me to discuss the unprecedented move to consolidate all your private financial and health information in the ObamaCare database and why the rush to employ over 175,000 community organizers should alarm you.

Hobby Lobby has stood strong this year while the government repeatedly attempted to infringe on the owners’ first amendment right to freely exercise religion. The public organized a day to support the store’s right not to offer abortifacients as part of their health care plan, as the founders believe life begins at conception.

In her speech before the annual NAACP conference, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said ““The Affordable Care Act is the most powerful law for reducing health disparities since Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965, the same year the Voting Rights Act was also enacted…The same arguments against change, the same fear and misinformation that opponents used then are the same ones opponents are spreading now.

In a dishonest statement, the administration claimed that a bill putting into law the administration's unilateral decision to delay the employer mandate was "unnecessary", and that delay of the individual mandate would cause people to lose their insurance.

Ohio Governor John Kasich is now insisting the Obamacare Medicaid expansion “is not about Obamacare,” in an attempt to message his fight for new deficit spending around conservative opposition and months of bad news about President Obama’s unpopular 2010 health law.
